Are you saying that you still can't just "cut and play" with 2L Quads?
What about W4RNL's website, or others, for a good set of dimensions.
I remember Clark Green (I forgot his call) used to have a 2L Quad
mounted on the same boom as a 2L40.  Sounds like a good idea to me.

I had no problem raising / lowering 2L Quads on a tram line.  Just lay
them on one of the frames when on the ground.  Piece of cake.
